  • iOS 14 will forget that a third-party app is the default, if the app is updated

    Is there a chance this fixed under iOS 14.1? I went so far as to uninstall my third-party default mail app this morning, then reinstalled it — and when I checked in Settings it was still the default.

  • Brydge brand & IP sold in foreclosure after financial struggles

    I’ve had a Brydge keyboard and case on an old iPad for years, and when I realized in January that the case had cracked, I ordered a replacement. I knew something wasn’t right when yhey shipped me an empty cardboard box — and I couldn’t raise anyone at the company via email or social media. It wasn’t until I opened a dispute with my credit card company that I got my replacement.

  • Apple researching 'light folding' to make periscope lenses for iPhone

    Meh. Let's imagine for the moment Apple always had the capital it had now. If they'd decided to buy the maker of the Rio, what would the iPod have looked like? If they bought BlackBerry (let's imagine they had the capital at the time), what would the iPhone look like? And if they bought Intel, what would the M1 Macs look like? 

    Obviously, Apple's R&D track record isn't perfect — far from it. But I think they've had enough high-profile successes to create some doubt around the assumption that they can't beat camera makers at their own game.

  • How to watch Apple's April 20 'Spring Loaded' event

    lkrupp said:
    It’s pretty sad when people need to be told how to watch something on their devices. The shear ignorance of the public is astounding. The Apple Discussion Forums are full of users wanting to be led by the nose to send an email, add the Apple Card to their Wallet, etc. It just reinforces the notion that after almost 40 years now of R&D to make tech simple to use there has been no improvement. You actually have to be somewhat intelligent to use technology.
